Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Barryn Sorrell in the Round 7 slot.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Neal steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 4 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Value with a capital V on Emeka Egbuka in slot 38, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They reached a country mile for Jordan Burch at the 69th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They went early on Donovan Jackson in pick No. 77, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, O'Donnell Fortune in the 145th pick, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No drama and no debate, Cam Jackson went about where he belonged in pick No. 219. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 240th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
